- Liberal Beacon - bi-monthly newsletter of NAUAIn Denominational AffairsOctober 16, 2024The NAUA is a new organization for those strongly opposed to the UUA and who sympathize with Dr. Rev. Eklof. I love the UUA and all its doing for us, and I'm not a fan of Dr Rev Eklof.10
- November's NAUA events Special Program Presented by the International Alliance:In Denominational AffairsNovember 4, 2024FYI, the NAUA was recently founded in opposition to the UUA during the UUA's move towards an increased emphasis on social justice and the rewrite of Article II. The founder of the NAUA, Dr Rev Todd Eckloff, preaches extensively about the UUA having turned Unitarian Universalism into a "cult" and indoctrinating UUA ministers. He goes on to say “The UUA has become a religion of social justice, which is very empty and shallow, because it does lack roots”. These same sentiments can be found repeatedly in the NAUA website, their monthly magazine, etc. I disagree with Eckloff's view of the UUA and I'm leary of his new organization.10

- October 2024 UUnderWorldIn Denominational AffairsOctober 17, 2024I find the NAUA's repeated accusations about UUA ministers being "indoctrinated" to be hurtful, insulting, and inappropriate. Their roots in opposition to the UUA is quite obvious. I'm not sure why this stuff is being posted at UUSE as we are trying to go through an organized and respectful discernment process.10

- NAUA Summit – Oct 17-20, 2024In Denominational AffairsOctober 18, 2024During this critical period of discernment at UUSE, why is an alternate denomination like the NAUA being promoted on our website, an organization recently founded in opposition to the UUA and the Article II rewrite? This doesn't seem like an appropriate thing to do at this time, possibly ever.10
- Letter to UUSE from UUA About the 7 PrinciplesIn Denominational Affairs·November 17, 2024Please see the letter below that we received from a UUA representative. This letter was forwarded to the Policy Board by Peggy Webbe and I am posting it here for the benefit of the entire congregation. Dear Members of UUSE, I’m Erica Baron, your primary contact from the New England Region of the UUA. In a recent conversation with Josh Pawelek, minister, and Peggy Webbe, president, they asked if the UUA supports congregations who wish to continue using the Principles in congregations in various ways. As your regional contact, yes! I fully support your congregation in making your own decisions about how you want to be in relationship with the Principles going forward. There are around 40 years’ worth of resources based on the 7 Principles created by Unitarian Universalists at all levels – UUA staff, ministers and DREs, lay leaders, congregations, everyone! You are welcome to continue to use any of those resources that you find valuable, including any resources you have created for your own congregation. The change at the national level in no way mandates that you cease reference to the Principles or using them in your own congregational life and practice. You may use the Principles, the Principles and the new Values, or just the new Values, whatever path you discern is most aligned with your congregation’s will and needs. In faith, Erica Erica Baron :: she/her/hers Congregational Consultant 617-948-46041010
